In the end, they lost a couple of more wickets but managed to score 157 runs on the board. Brar and Nathan Ellis each grabbed three wickets in the game, while Kagiso Rabada took one.
Punjab scored runs at a good rate in the chase, but lost early wickets. They scored 62 runs in the first six overs, but lost two wickets in the process.
